When the rock'n'roll dream ends, the hard part is waking up. Riff was the legendary guitarist in one of the biggest rock bands in Australian history. But the 80s are gone and without music, Riff's life has spiralled out of control. With his new band The Sunset Six, he's got one last chance at making it; one last chance of landing the record deal that will get him back in the game. One problem... the band is falling apart. And it's all his fault. As time ticks down to their imminent gig, can Riff get the band back on the rails in time? The Sunset Six is a feel-good comedy about a band's rocky road to musical heaven.—Anon
Riff, is a songwriter who walked away from his hit band Spyzone In 1987 just as they hit the big time. His new band, The Sunset Six have been rehearsing for 9 months without playing a single gig and the band is very restless. Theyve hitched their wagon to Riff's fading star and have expected much more, much sooner. But Riff has a secret pathological fear of playing live and hasnt written a good song since his last big hit twenty five years ago. The offer of a potential record deal sends the band into a spin, bringing out everyones dirty secrets, resentments but also their unexpected talents, and in the course of a nights practice they finally become the band they dream of being.
